Is this the future of TV? Netflix will launch the entire first season of the Kevin Spacey series “House of Cards” all at once on Feb. 1. The 13 episodes of the political drama, directed by David Fincher, will be available to Netflix members at launch — no waiting for weekly installments.

Clearly this is the way more people are watching TV these days, “marathoning” through whole seasons. This could point the way for future productions. Media Rights Capital, the producer of “House of Cards” for Netflix, says a second season is scheduled to be shot this spring.
